Subject: [E36M3] Blown headgasket/water pump
You said that your M3 has only 27k miles, but didn't
say if it is still in warranty. If it is, ask to see the
water pump - beginning radius cracks in the plastic
impeller are usually apparent. If so, it will be replaced
under warranty.
If it's out of warranty, replace it, with the proviso that
you get a newer style pump with a metal impeller.
There should be little - or no - incremental labor cost
for the pump.
I replaced the pump in my '95 at approx 70k - I was
getting ready for a 4k mile trip, and didn't want to
have it urp on the trip. It was starting to show signs
of radial cracks.
